Who Do you Say I am? Do we truly know who God is?

In this homily, Fr. Sikstus reflects on three foundations of Christian life: servant leadership, trust in God and a personal relationship with Jesus. True leaders serve with love, humility and responsibility, carrying the needs of others. Faith, he reminds us, "doesn't mean that we will have answers to all our questions," but trusting God even when we do not understand. At the heart of the Gospel is Jesus' personal question: "Who do you say I am?" Fr. Sikstus invites us to move from knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him - from information to relationship, and ultimately, "from relationship to mission."- Sunday Homily by Fr.
